⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $6.4M/yr
75.0% probability / year
Normal year reflecting planned monitoring, typical event frequency and routine operations with no major escalations.
routine nightly manifestations typical number of events (~5/yr) no large public exposure
🚨 Minor Incident $8.4M/yr
20.0% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Clustered increase in manifestations (larger-than-normal number of events) requiring increased responses, extra consumables, overtime, and replacement equipment.
clustered nightly activity multiple simultaneous scenes increased MTF deployments and consumables
🚨 Major Breach $21.4M/yr
4.5% probability / year +$15.0M vs baseline
Significant containment failure or large public exposure requiring mass amnestic administration, major legal/PR actions, and tapping contingency reserves.
large-scale public exposure mass casualties / multiple-site incidents major legal and remediation actions
🚨 Catastrophic Breach $56.4M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$50.0M vs baseline
Regional-scale incident (e.g., uncontrolled anomalous fire spread) causing widespread damage, mass casualties, and extensive multi-year recovery efforts.
regional wildfire-scale anomalous event mass-casualty exposure multi-site long-duration response

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates are assembled from analyst-provided ranges and recommended midpoints; many items (anomalous frequency, breach severity) are uncertain and object class is unknown, so medium confidence is appropriate.
